As Winter arrives the nature table will soon be cleared away from the Infant Classroom but have a look at all the interesting items which were found by the pupils during Autumn.
There were also some excellent pieces of art on display in the corridor beside the Infant Classroom ahead of Halloween!
Both our boys and girls football teams were in action today in Martinstown in the Cumann na mBunscol blitzes which had been delayed by poor weather in recent weeks.
The girls were first up and they had three games. Wins over Kilfinane NS and Athlacca NS guaranteed the girls a place in at least the South Roinn B final before they played Knockainey NS in the final group game. A last minute goal gave Knockainey the victory by a single point.
With the girls fixtures completed the boys took to the field and produced two stellar displays against Kilfinane NS and Knockainey NS to top their group and secure passage to the Roinn A decider.
Well done to everyone involved. The boys and girls will return to the training field on Wednesday after school to prepare for the South Finals which will be played when we return from the mid term break.
Boys: Roinn A Final: Herbertstown NS v Croom NS
Girls: Roinn B Final: Herbertstown NS v Hospital NS
Herbertstown NS pupils participated in events from u8 girls/boys to u12 girls/boys in difficult terrain and there were some great individual performances from each and every person who took part.
Each race had in the region of 50 entrants with a mass start so we were thrilled to come home with 3 medals from the day.
Local coaches Shane Markham & Pádraig O’Dea from Hospital/Herbertstown GAA club visited the school on Monday and presented the staff & pupils with cones, hurleys, sliotars and gaelic footballs for the year ahead. Thank you to Hospital/Herbertstown for their continued support of Gaelic Games in the school.
4th/5th class helped to further their understanding of 2D shapes through some fun maths stations this week.
